Obey God and Don't Forget Your Purse Friday morning dawned bright and sunny so we had a big breakfast at the cabin and then headed over to the "caves" and rocks for some climbing, sliding and exploring. There was quite a crowd when we first arrived but by noon we seemed to have the area practically to ourselves. There are so many Kodak moments at the caves! Caleb wanted to document his scientific findings - that indeed sandstone does revert back to sand! We like to climb all the way to the top of the caves, partly because we always find interesting things and partly because no one else seems to venture there and we have it to ourselves. Apparently yellow was the color of the day. This time we hiked off in a direction we've never gone and were rewarded with a dwelling of some sort the kids found intriguing. They all made up stories of what this could have been in its prime. Miss Grace always ready with a pose. I think she knows mama is always ready with the camera. This is one of my favorites - they look so small against the giant cedars. Caleb's infectious grin. After hiking, lunch and a short rest at the cabin we set out for the canoes and paddleboats. Gracie wasn't missing out this time, she has been eager to take a ride on the lake since her big brothers did last time around. And finally snowcones and kettle corn to top off a lovely afternoon. The evening was peaceful around the campfire once again with hamburgers and of course marshmallows. After a game of HighRise dominoes, we headed to bed earlier than the first night because we were all exhausted from 2 days of hiking and rowing (we're sorely out of shape!). On Saturday we slept in, had another big breakfast, packed up and headed to town. There was a quaint old 5 & 10 store we couldn't resist. We found lots of rare goodies there and each came away with a treasured souvenir. It was a lovely week and we're all sad to see it end. But it won't be long now until school is out for the summer and we'll have lots more days to spend together.
